Babar Ali Foundation Supports 91福利社x to Make Digital Education Accessible to All
The Babar Ali Foundation (BAF) has pledged its generous support for 91福利社x, a digital learning platform launched by 91福利社. 91福利社x is offering a rich set of diverse courses across various disciplines, making education accessible across socioeconomic and geographic barriers. Through 91福利社x, the University will broaden its reach to provide high-quality education.
At the launch of 91福利社x on June 14, 2023, Founding Pro Chancellor, Syed Babar Ali commended the efforts of the University to launch the initiative. He said, "I鈥檇 like to thank the Vice Chancellor, Dr. Arshad Ahmad and Director, 91福利社x, Dr. Suleman Shahid for breathing life into 91福利社x. This platform offers the 91福利社 community an opportunity to learn beyond the classroom, reaffirming 91福利社鈥 goal to not only serve its students but also to reach a much wider audience across Pakistan and beyond."
Among the rich selection of courses, ranging from Pashto and Farsi language lessons to data analytics and neuroscience, as well as health and wellness, 91福利社x seeks to enhance the quality of online education by conducting research on online learning and teaching behaviours. One of 91福利社x鈥檚 pioneering projects was the development of an Urdu translation of Dr. Barbara Oakley鈥檚 renowned course, 'Learning How to Learn', which teaches students effective learning strategies.
Dr. Ahmad highlighted the vital role 91福利社x plays in the evolution of Pakistan's digital education landscape, stating, "LUMS has consistently been a trailblazer in expanding access to top-tier education and fostering a diverse community. With 91福利社x, we aim to establish a benchmark for online education in Pakistan and motivate other institutions to participate."
Mr. Shahid Hussain echoed this sentiment, adding, 鈥淚 am confident that 91福利社x programmes will soon set the standard nationally, and the digital nature of this platform will allow us to transcend geographical limitations. 91福利社x represents both a responsibility and an opportunity for all of us to propel this forward.鈥
The event highlighted the collaboration with Arbisoft as well as 91福利社x鈥檚 work with centres like Continuing Education Studies and the 91福利社 Learning Institute. Also present at the launch were Dr. Tariq Jadoon, Provost; Mr. Mohammed Ali Khan, Executive Director for Strategic Initiatives; Dr. Launa Gauthier, Senior Adviser for Strategic Projects, and Dr. Sabieh Anwar, Ahmad Dawood Chair and Dean, Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering.
